Twin Peaks: Classic or Dud?

that was kind of a problem with the show though ... I was v dedicated to watching all the episodes but if you missed one you were pretty fucked

not by the time they got deep into nadine's super-strength or the misadventures of little nicky.

Worst ongoing plotline in the second season of Twin Peaks (SPOILERS)

roll call: how many of you watched the series on its original run? (my hand is way up)

Way way up here too. Saw the movie on opening night also.

My memory is that I watched most or all of the first season as it aired; definitely not the second, though I came back for the final episode or two. The first time I saw the entirety from start to finish was when Bravo reran it in the mid-'90s, then I watched it all again when I bought the box set seven or eight years ago.

no Miguel Ferrer in the deleted scenes trailer :/

I watched this religiously. I in my final year of high school when it debuted and I was incredibly sick with bleeding ulcers and had to have surgery, I barely went to school my second semester. Twin Peaks essentially saved my life at the time.

I watched it when it was on TV here, probably six months or so behind US transmission. Every following morning, my first-period history teacher would assign some work and then come to my desk to talk over the previous night's episode. We both loved the Diane Keaton episode IIRC

Two hands waaay up!

9th grade, I was so into it. Got Laura Palmer's Diary for my birthday the following year, PRIZED possession <3

what's the difference between having your hand way up, having your hand way way up, having two hands waaay up and having your hand up?

Of course the latter's the only appropriate way to do it

did they fix the audio in the pink room scene

There is a deleted scene on this Blu Ray which is an extreme close up of Laura's face for about a minute while light flashes and her mouth starts to grin but her eyes stay dead. It's unbelievably creepy.

make it into a gif!

There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always — do not forget this, Winston — always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever, to the strains of a collective shout: "make it into a gif! Make it into a gif!"

2 mins hating u so hard right now

i have to say that all the deleted scenes on the blu-ray box set were kind of a letdown, but that was inevitable, right?

good job deleting, David Lynch!

When two separate events occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry we must always pay strict attention!

OTM

haha

I'd love to think that the Bluray sales were off the charts and someone came to these dudes with a fat check and said, "more, please".

At this point, more Twin Peaks feels weirdly inevitable, like I'll be shocked only if it never happens

feel like the critical people - Lynch, Frost, Maclachlan - would all deliver the goods if they could get a decent deal together

I'd hate to see a shitty revival, but I could see this working if the younger cast members now comprised the older & weirder townie contingent.

a shia to maclachlan's indy

yeah the younger cast as the oldsters (and they wouldn't even need all of them, just enough - Sherilyn Fenn, Bobby/James, etc.) seems like a no-brainer

Bob and Jack Nance are the only deceased players, no?

as far as I know

All this speculation over what is more likely an announcement for the new David Lynch Signature Cup chewing gum.

Although I acknowledge it's not great for the actors themselves, but in terms of a potential reunion project, it's pretty awesome that no one in the main cast's career has skyrocketed (unless I'm forgetting someone really obvious). I'd think they'd almost all be open and available to returning.

yeah I imagine at some point Flynn-Boyle would have resisted, but not now

shd bring back Lara Flynn Boyle and Moira Kelly just to fuck with people xp

Bob and Jack Nance are the only deceased players, no?

Can't imagine Twin Peaks without Pete, to be honest. Though I guess they could just say he died in that explosion in the penultimate episode, like it seemed? And I guess Frank Silva's absence could be covered by having MacLachlan play Bob too, I'm sure he could do it.

If there really is a revival, can't imagine it being more than a curiosity, but sure, I'll watch it.

is "phantom menaced" a phrase yet?

there was a pretty decent episode of psych (which i think is an underrated if formulaic buddy comedy) that was twin peaks themed and included a cast of many of the supporting actors from the series. they're all still totally able to channel the campy weirdness pretty effectively.

OH SHIT

Nine new episodes, all written by Lynch/Frost and directed by Lynch

Well goddamn

omg omg omg

I hear the new Twin Peaks will be set in the present day, more than two decades after the events in the first two seasons. It is expected to continue the lore and story of the original series, with Lynch and Frost committed to providing long-awaited answers and, hopefully, a satisfying conclusion to the series. It is unclear which actors from the original series will be featured in the followup. Rumor is that star Kyle MacLachlan would be back, likely reprising his role as FBI Agent Dale Cooper who was at the center of the show. The ABC series also featured some of Lynch’s favorite character actors, and it is likely that at least some of them will return.

Scott walker to perform live duet with julee cruise

lol

I only hope it can live up to the standard set by the recontinuation of Dallas.
